@PristinityJewelry Thanks for expertly done privacy protection screenshots, while showing us the details of how the seller's name appears after the dots.
Now, I will have to download the gift receipt first to decipher it correctly, NOT print or use it, then proceed along with a handwritten card with the correct message! What a waste of everyone's time, as I don't find any of their gift messages particular useful as it puts the cart of surprise before the horse.
Yes, I agree, the buyer should have the only discretion about what personally appears on a gift card. Hate this whole gift picture, and sometimes price being displayed in one iteration of it, etc.
I make my own small gift cards, to personalize it with the receiver's name in fancy script on the card front, handwritten msg inside, and X2 other bits of important info, the who it is being sent to and from my shop with addresses on the back of the card. That last part is to make sure, should it get lost etc, that there is correct address from sender's Etsy shop to the gift receiver's name/address. In two cases of NYC apartment block addresses, this re-routed the package to whom it was originally intended.
Obviously, a convo is sent to clarify this info, should anything be missing or unclear. Yeah...missing recipient name seems cringy stalkerish to me if it's sent to giftees addy directly...eeek
I've not had a problem with people not understanding my process, and most are very appreciative of the personal touch of someone's name in fancy scrollwork (using templates).
